There's a difference between someone who's 'harsh' and someone who is 'hard.' Life was hard. You lived in the South, as my grandparents did, and you had to survive. That is hard. ↗

I just pinch myself, because I think if there's anything I can be proud of, I've survived success, which I think is difficult these days. ↗
